Just
because fibreglass is hardy doesn’t mean it’s not invulnerable.
Nothing made by human hands can last forever, even if you won’t be
around to see it wear out. That’s why, in addition to the
fibreglass pool and its components, pool contractors include a
structural warranty to cover repairs, usually ten years.

A
structural warranty is an industry standard among pools. Although
warranties may vary by pool contractor, general coverage includes
surface blisters, stains and discolouration due to material or
manufacturing defects. Although fibreglass pools can last a lifetime,
they’re still exposed to the elements.

Pool
contractors give you the freedom to choose what colour you want for
your fibreglass pool. You can choose between the traditional blue and
others like green and yellow. Before choosing a colour, however, take
the look of the backyard into account. As far as landscaping is
concerned, opposites attract.

Experts
suggest a light-coloured theme for a dark pool or a dark-coloured
theme for a light pool. This demonstrates good use of contrast, which
makes for a unique design. Kasper Aaberg, founder of graphics blog
Love of Graphics, says dark themes stand out while light themes hang
back. Together, they create a dramatic and inviting effect.

Product
and service inclusions differ with each pool company. If you want
your new pool installation to give you your money’s worth, you must
be able to identify the key additions that hold true value. In that
regard, make sure that pencil compaction is included by the company
and written into your contract. If this is your first time to come
across the term, here are a few frequently asked questions about
pencil compaction:

What
is pencil compaction?

Pencil
compaction is a relatively new and innovative way of speeding up
the pool installation process. It is meant to remove air pockets in
loose sand when the backfilling process is already done.

For
many people, owning a swimming pool in Perth is directly related to
having fun and beating the heat—and there is nothing wrong with
that notion. What you should remember, however, is that your pool can
also serve as a fantastic way to get much-needed exercise.

Working
out in your pool is great for burning calories as you require more
effort to move around due to water resistance. At the same time, the
water significantly reduces the strain your put your muscles through.
As a result, pool workouts offer an effective way to achieve a more
intense workout with a very low risk of injury.

moved on to subcontracting complete pool installations 5 years later – doing everything on his own from the plumbing to filtration, backfilling and levelling – the beginning of Raykos Pools.Raykos Pools changed their name to Palm City Pools in 1993 to reflect the change in business direction. Palm City Pools joined SPASA in 1998 to have a positive impact in the swimming pool industry.
